    title: Let’s us briefly explain what exactly Dasharo stack consists of

    content_block_1: <span>The first layer is a target platform.</span>
      Most clients have it already chosen when starting a journey with Dasharo,
      however sometimes the platform is only adapted to a pre-selected set of
      features. With the knowledge about it’s specification we can proceed
      further.

    content_block_2: <span>The next step is about the firmware layer.</span>
      The most common is coreboot due to its strong focus on boot speed,
      security and flexibility, however the choice depends on targeted users of
      the platform. Further, depending on the chosen firmware, integration of
      Intel FSP or AMD AGESA is set. Having it all confirmed, the payload and
      the operating system may become the next layer – The stack may differ at
      this point. For example, UEFI firmware doesn't need payload to be
      implemented, due to its compatibility with UEFI specification.

    content_block_3: <span>Followingly, selected set of features is implemented.
      </span> The choice depends on platform specification and it's overall
      destination. The list of the sample features is available below. The
      process of creating dedicated Dasharo firmware is performed with the
      constant support of our team, from the early advisory steps to the
      constant maintenance process.

      <span>coreboot source-code is available in the official repository.</span>
      That means you can port coreboot and adjust payload with chosen features
      providing that you are deeply experienced in firmware engineering and have
      a sufficient amount of time. Step-by-step procedures do not exist yet, so
      in case of any issue or bug, it is challenging to find a solution or at
      least a guide. Furthermore, integration, validation, emergency releases
      and maintenance may cause a problem without the constant support of an
      experienced firmware team.

      <br><br>
      <span>Are we trying to tell you that it is not a good idea to port and
      adjust coreboot by yourself?</span> No.

      <br><br>
      If you are experienced and porting coreboot will serve your purposes, you
      can fully manage it by yourself and we encourage you to do so! For OEM/ODM
      vendors, the need for time, quality and stability measures makes Dasharo
      the best choice. Let all the effort involved in porting, adjusting,
      maintenance and validation be on us – experienced firmware experts.
